Job Description

We're on the lookout for a Functional Analyst to join our team. Someone with solid experience across Dynamics 365, especially Finance & Operations (FO).

You'll be right at the heart of things-working closely with teams across the business to understand what they need, design smart solutions, and help bring brilliant ERP functionality to life. As part of our growing ERP team, you'll play a key role in shaping our tech landscape, always pushing for better ways of doing things.

You'll be working closely with teams across the business-from Finance and Warehouse Management to HR-making sure our D365 platform does exactly what they need it to. You'll get stuck into troubleshooting, digging into processes, and spotting opportunities to improve how things work.

It's all about making the system more reliable, more efficient, and more useful for the people who rely on it every day.

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

You'll support our Dynamics 365 F&O users day-to-day-handling incidents, service requests, and resolving any technical hiccups that come up. You'll help test new releases and updates, dig into issues to find the root cause, and work with developers and system admins to roll out fixes. You'll also configure and tailor D365 Finance to fit the business, making sure everything aligns with best practice. Sharing knowledge is a big part of the role too, whether that's improving how we work or helping train users on new features. You'll also get involved in creating functional designs alongside internal teams and partners.

What you'll bring
You've got solid experience as a D365 Functional Analyst, ideally with a focus on Finance-covering areas like General Ledger, AP/AR, and Fixed Assets. You're confident with functional and regression testing, and know your way around tools like Azure DevOps. You understand ERP principles and financial processes inside out, and you're great at turning business needs into smart system solutions. You're a strong communicator who can bridge the gap between tech and business, and you work well with both stakeholders and technical teams. You're also used to supporting users, solving problems quickly, and keeping things moving in a fast-paced environment.

A Few Things About You
  • Experience as a D365 Functional Analyst, ideally with a focus on Finance (GL, AP/AR, Fixed Assets, etc.)
  • Confident with functional and regression testing using tools like Azure DevOps and Test Plans
  • Solid grasp of ERP principles, financial processes, and D365 best practices
  • Skilled at gathering requirements, designing solutions, and configuring systems
  • Great at turning tech talk into plain English for non-technical teams
  • Comfortable working with both business stakeholders and tech teams to get things right
  • Experienced in supporting users, resolving issues, and keeping things running smoothly

Nice to have:

  • Experience working in Agile teams and using tools like JIRA or Azure DevOps
  • Familiar with Power BI for reporting and analysis in D365
  • Good understanding of Finance and Supply Chain processes
  • Skills that make a difference
  • Confident troubleshooting and configuring D365

Reasonable adjustments

We want to make sure you're given the best possible chance to shine in your interview, so you may need us to do things in a slightly different way. This could be requesting a ground floor room or bringing along a sign interpreter to name just a few.

AO is for everyone

We should all feel that we belong. That's why we are creating a welcoming and inclusive place to work.

We're proud to be different. From how we look to the way we talk to our customers, we skip to the beat of our very own drum. We know that being different together is our superpower and we celebrate it because it makes us stronger, more creative, and better at what we do.

We believe the people we employ should reflect the diversity of our customer base; that way, we can communicate in a way that recognises all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, abilities, and sexual orientations.

And that's why we're asking these questions. Making sure our recruitment process is inclusive is a key part of what we're doing at AO to encourage diversity as an employer.

How will we use the data?

After we've collated the data, we'll look at the patterns to assess if we are inclusive at each stage. If it turns out that we aren't, then the data may help us identify where we can improve.

The data will never have any bearing on whether an application is successful or not and will not be available to hiring managers at any stage.

How do you describe your gender identity?

How do you describe your ethnic background?

How do you like to describe your sexual identity or sexual orientation?

Do you identify as a person with a disability or are you a person with accessibility needs?

How would you describe your Neurodiversity?
